Woman breaks into dentist’s office, knocks out 13 teeth from patient
Officers allege that Laurel Eich, who is not a dentist, broke into a dental office where she said she had previously worked.
Eich allegedly stole $22,861 in cash and checks during the May 3 robbery, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Meanwhile, the tooth extraction occurred on a different date than the robbery, Eich told detectives. He also admitted to using anesthesia removed by the office, police said.
Eich, 42, was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of burglary and one count of grand theft, conspiracy to commit burglary and performing surgery on another person without a medical license.
Investigators did not say how they determined Eich was a person of interest in the case, but said she “admitted to several people,” including agents, that she had performed the medical procedure.
Eich, a Reno resident, allegedly performed the extractions “on her own time,” the Daily Mail reported.
She remains in custody at the WashoeCounty Jail on $20,000 bond.
